Shoe Rehab

Nick tells me not to buy more shoes, I say "NO, NO, NO".

Sorry lovah, I've got a passion for fashion... specifically shoes. Plus, I work in the footwear industry... my shopping is more like market research than a full blown addiction. AND AND AND, I was shopping with my mom, like quality mother daughter time spent in DWS...These are all things I tell myself to justify my addic... I mean passion!

Exhibit #1) Se Boutique: (Sam Edelman owns xox)

I'd never buy any old pair of black pumps... these have twisted cut outs with metallic snakeskin showing through. They are fabulous.

Exhibit #2: Steve Madden Luxe.

I've been wanting oxfords... but these are like jazz shoes on crack. I love them. I wore them commuting today and I will change into my pumps for tonight. My workies and our BFs are going to the premier of "The Paper Man" tonight. Ryan Reynolds...yummm. Not as delish as these two purchases from DWS though.

City Living

Our apartment features artifacts from cities and vacations we love, so why not represent the greatest city of all, the city we live in, New York City. Ork Posters offers different cities as well, Philly, Boston, etc. I love the way they simplify NYC, it’s so clean and straightforward. Our great poster is hung in our bathroom, but I found a couple pictures from Apartment Therapy featuring Ork posters in other rooms too. Enjoy!

Po, it ain't just a river in Italy

It's no secret that Po is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. Located on Cornelia St right off of Bleeker, the location is ideal. Just yesterday, when I arrived a bit early for my reservation, I walked around and admired the secret streets of Greenwich Village that you have to be ancient or a millionaire to live on. But a restaurant is nothing without food, and I swear to you, Po doesn’t not disappoint. My usual, White Bean Raviolis, is just the perfect sized plate of luscious thin ravs, engulfed in this fantastic balsamic vinager sauce. Last night, as the menu changed a bit and featured more spring-ish dishes (is that a word?) I ventured away from the comforts of a dish that never fails and tried their pappardelle with sweet pea and mint Parmigiano. WHAT? Amazing. The pasta itself was so light and fresh. You never leave feeling like you’re going to explode from being full, nothing it too heavy or weights you down. The atmosphere is really causual and friendly, yet it could be romantic (I imagine, I only go with my Dad…). The staff is so great and accommodating. I’m addicted :)

Spring Has Sprung!!

Just got these SAM EDELMAN boots on GILT GROUPE.  Gosh darn, I love Gilt, and I don't feel guilty about it!  I also love the perf... it lends itself so well to spring. 

Oh spring.  I love spring.

I digress... Here is an outfit of mine (this is not me) that I'd wear with my new boots:

This I Heart Ronson romper from JC Penny is a favorite piece of mine.  Def the first time I've shopped at the Penny, but with this new collection out it sure won't be the last!  Can't wait to pair it up with mah new boots!!

Furs, Furs... Follow-Up.

THIS IS THE COAT... AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Furs, Furs!

Sorry that was a really bad Follies reference....
Anywho, Cristina's mama and papa graciously gave me an old fur coat last week and lo and behold, I see fur all over the runways at New York Fashion Week.  Fantastic!
